More detailed information:
Course Title: Introduction to Ocean Sustainability (Nina Keul et al., contact: nina.keul@ifg.uni-kiel.de, application deadline April 7)
Course Level: open to MSc students (not only from a marine science background, but also students with a study focus on law, resource economy, ethics that are interested in ocean sustainability). 5 ECTS.
Course Content: The key to future ocean sustainability lies in understanding the ocean and treating it as an integrated system with diverse social and natural interactions. The module will concentrate on integrated research areas that focus on the grand challenges faced in attaining ocean sustainability. Students will attend a lecture series where the members of Kiel Marine Sciences will present current topics on ocean sustainability from an interdisciplinary view point. Afterwards, students will work in small groups on a final term paper, in the style of a policy brief.
Learning Outcomes: Students are able to describe the basic concepts of ocean sustainability. Furthermore, students will be familiar with innovative and solution-orientated opportunities for sustainability policy that reduces ocean pressures, enhances resilience and safeguards human prosperity derived from the ocean. Using this knowledge, students will be able to analyse sustainability related topics in an interdisciplinary setting, developing an important skill not only for academic careers, but also for engagement with societal actors and knowledge holders outside academia.
